This is an underwater room and your goal is to escape to the second floor. To enter this room you first put a scuba diving kit and keep in mind that the oxygen levels will last 2 hours only, so that's the time you figure out all the clues that will eventually lead you the key that opens the door to the second floor.

There is a lot of stuff floating around, there is also furniture, paintings and carpets on the walls and floor, the complexity of this clues and riddles won't be too hard, actually they will be fairly easy to figure out, the reason for this is that is already going to be extremely difficult trying to communicate underwater, since the only ways to do this is by hand signs or charades kind of things.

The stress of the game is real because of the limited oxygen you have, so is expected many creative ways to finish the game fast.
